Abstract

A method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: hot rolling a slab so as to manufacture a hot rolled sheet, the slab comprising, by wt %, 2.5-4.0% of Si, 0.03-0.09% of C, 0.015-0.040% of Al, 0.04-0.15% of Mn, 0.01% or less of S (excluding 0%), 0.002-0.012% of N, 0.01-0.05% of Sb, 0.03-0.1% of Sn, 0.05-0.2% of Cr and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities; cold rolling the hot rolled sheet so as to manufacture a cold rolled sheet; and performing secondary recrystallization annealing on the steel sheet having undergone primary recrystallization annealing.
